Vitalik "Proposes 5x increase in gas fees for inefficient operations… Selective scaling next year"

Summary

Vitalik Buterin, founder of Ethereum (ETH), said that next year's Ethereum will undergo selective scaling.
A proposal to increase the gas fees for computationally inefficient operations by 5 times was suggested, meaning contract development and operational costs using certain operations could rise significantly.
He said that targets for gas cost increases include new storage creation, some precompiles, contracts with large code size, etc.

Vitalik Buterin, founder of Ethereum (ETH), said that next year's Ethereum growth pattern will be "more selective scaling."

On the 26th (KST), Vitalik Buterin wrote on his X (formerly Twitter), "Overall growth will continue, but not all areas will scale equally," and "Instead of increasing the gas limit (gas limit) by 5 times, an option is to increase the gas costs of operations with high processing inefficiency by 5 times."

He pointed to possible targets for gas cost increases: SSTORE when creating new storage, standard SSTORE, precompiles excluding elliptic curve–based ones, CALLs to contracts with large code size, complex arithmetic operations (MODMUL, etc.), and slight adjustments to calldata.
